[QUOTE="moreluck, post: 928178, member: 1246"] They had $500,000.00 why dont they pay for their own potties? Why should my tax dollar pay for that?

Plus, the government rented 17 bright blue potties from Don’s Johns, which were parked across from the Capitol Grounds and in the shadow of the Ulysses S. Grant Memorial. The Architect of the Capitol’s office wouldn’t comment on the costs or protection. But Don’s Johns told Whispers that renting 17 potties costs about $2,100.
